Throwback Thursday-MTV Movie Awards 2001

So with my post this week in regards to the MTV Movie Awards, it made me realize how much I used to love them.  When I was the one buying tickets to watch all the movies that were the main focus of the show. My favorite actors and actresses were all over the place. Unlike then, now I have to force myself to try and stay relevant by watching these Hunger Games movies, which if I am honest, still stuck on chapter 5 of Book 1.  Since 2010.  So I decided to pick the year 2001, the year I graduated college...when my weekends were filled with teeny-bopper music and movies.  And man, did it bring back some memories...some good...some not so good.

The Bare Mid-Drift:

Left to Right: Cameron Diaz, Julia Stiles, Shannon Elizabeth and Alyson Hannigan

I am not sorry this fad went away.  I remember all my t-shirts all fell short of my pants or skirt.  And it was okay.  You didn't call a baby tee and baby tee...it was just a shirt.  This fad made my legs look even longer than they already are.  And when in your early twenties, not always a good thing.

Anna Faris was just breaking onto the scene, as a brunette:

And Christina was well...Dirty?:

Her outfit may have been horrendous, but you gotta admit that tune is still pretty catchy.  And she performed on stage that night singing 'Lady Marmalade with Mya, Lil Kim and Pink...whose hair was bright pink at the time.


However there were a sad few things I remembered while searching Google images.  That was the year 'The Fast and Furious' came out.  We hardly knew Vin Diesel and Paul Walker was just the hot blond guy from 'Varsity Blues' and 'She's All That'.  And here it is 14 years later, #1 movie in the country for the 7th movie in the series.  But the saddest thing was Aaliyah walked the red carpet for 'Romeo Must Die.'  And if memory serves me correctly, she wasn't alive much longer after this awards show. I am pretty sure she would of been a huge huge star, has she not died in the plane crash.

This was a fun little trip down memory lane.  All these people in this post were some huge at that time.  Some are still around..some not so much.  Mya? Shannon Elizabeth?  Anna Faris's brown hair?   Haha...anyways want me to critique fashion from another time, event, era...let me know!

All Suited up for the MTV Movie Awards

There is nothing wrong with this picture, in fact, I am posting it 100% for the adorableness factor.  Mark Ruffalo and his daughter Bella, is matching suits for the MTV Movie Awards.

Love it!  Only thing I might change...matching Converse.  I mean, if you are going to match pocket squares, might as well go all in...

MTV Movie Awards 2015....Snoozefest for Mr Teen Wolf

Boring Tyler Posey

I generally post about female celebrities on this, as lets face it, guys have it way easier in terms of fashion.  I didn't watch the MTV Awards that were on last night...not yet at least.  It is saved on the DVR. I mean let's be realistic, I am not in my twenties and I would rather watch something else with more intellectual plot twists...'THE ROYALS'!

However I did watch 'Catfish' prior to the red carpet and saw a bunch of the celebs during the commercials and Tyler Posey was the first one I saw.  I said you have it easier, but you have to put in a little effort Tyler.  Aren't you like MR. MTV?  The star of Teen Wolf, showed up in vans, knee high black shorts and a short sleeved button up blue shirt.  ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Yup, that is as much as he could do apparently, I guess.  I can appreciate his chill lifestyle, (okay no I can't I can't stand it) but most of the other guys that appeared wore slacks, a nice sweater and some sort of jacket.  But I guess Tyler is just too cool.  I mean look at the effort the females in attendance had to put in:

Women in Style at MTV Awards

Consider yourself lucky Tyler. You don't have to worry about fitting in your dress, high heels, sitting in makeup and hair chairs for hours or worrying someone might have the same dress as you.

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

I probably would of been fine with even throwing on a pair of black pants.  Maybe you wanted to show off some new ink?  I am not sure, but this is just poor wardrobe planning.  Even your co-stars dressed better than you and I hope they give you nothing but crap during the next day of filming.  Even you are gonna rock shorts on a red carpet, have fun with it.  Throw on a bow tie, or suspenders.  Go all the way.  Heck even Grumpy Cat wore a hat.

The Avengers Cast

Tyler, you are still young, I get it.  And you don't strike me as a guy who wants to go and spend money on a team of stylists.  But maybe you should.  Not need to BURN anything, just don't wear to another fashion event like the MTV Awards,  Heck even the guys from Avengers dressed up more than you...and they are way more famous.  Just something to think about!

Couldn't of worn Chucks like Mark Ruffalo?  Or a cool pair of sunglasses like Miles Teller?  Men!

Throwback Thursday-Punky Brewster

As I was trying to play catch up on my magazine reading, I read in In Style Magazine. that one of Kerry Washington's fashion icons was Punky Brewster.  Anyone else trying to picture Olivia Pope as Punky?  Already there my friend.  But I thought that it would be a perfect time to do a Throwback Thursday edition featuring Miss Brewster.

Sleeveless vests, multi-colored shirts, bright colored buttons, sun hair ties and of course mismatched tennis shoes were all staples of Punky's everyday attire.  Ah such simpler times when we all thought it was okay to dress like her, or maybe that was just me and Kerry.  And now I find it necessary to log into my Netflix account and see if I can stream old episodes.  Or pray for a reunion, although after googling pictures of Punky Brewster, I have seen more than enough of Soleil Moon Frye...too too much!

Fashion and Punky Brewster go so well together, that I even found out a well thought out description of her wardrobe musts, that I think I already figured next years Halloween costume...and its only April.  Feel free to steal the idea...unless you are one of my friends and will be attending the same party.  Because "I have Punky Power" and you don't!!!  

No Golden Statue for Pamela Anderson

It is pretty hard to mess up a wrap dress.  But unfortunately for Pamela Anderson at a movie premiere of 'The Gunman,' that is what happened.

At first glance the dress is okay, but paying closer attention it is a golden disaster.  Where to begin? The material looks pretty cheap with frayed ends.  Looks like she simply went to a fabric store and asked for gold colored fabric of any material.  The material and low cut front, doesn't allow for a conventional bra, as her chest area is busting out.  But clearly you can see nipples popping out and she seems to be a little lopsided. (What is the point of a boob job if they aren't even straight?) The gold closed toed high heeled pumps seem to blend with the dress with a magenta jeweled belt attempting to hold everything together.  Heck, she even looks angry about the outfit.

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

I want to start by saying I love the bag. LOVE IT! But not sure it goes with this attempt at a delicate look, seems a bit harsh and out of place with the dress, however wrong it might be.  Perhaps if the dress was a bit larger and closed up a bit more, she wouldn't look like the dress was about to tear off.

If I was Pamela, I would be way more well-endowed in the chest area, but I would BURN this dress.  It's not flattering on her in the least.  The belt, shoes and bag can stay...in fact just mail me the bag, I would take excellent care of it.  But this was not a outfit worth of an Oscar or a Hollywood movie premiere.

What do you think?  Too harsh?  Or not harsh enough?

Throw Back Thursday-Out of this World

Evie Garland-Not Kristen Bell

I decided to go way back to 1987 for a little show called 'Out of the World.'  Some of you reading this may not have seen it, but it was a show about a young girl, Evie Garland, who had magical powers and could freeze time. Inevitably it got her out of trouble time after time and as a young kid I thought it would be so cool to have her powers.  I tried touching my pointer fingers together over and over, but to no avail, nothing ever happened.

But look at that floral sweater vest with turquoise colored short sleeve shirt with matching headband, classic 80's fashion.  Am I glad that rolled up sleeves and popped up colors have gone away?  Yes. Sad this show is gone?  Yes. Upset I still don't have magical powers? Terribly.

I kept looking at additional pictures, although you don't really need anymore than the GIF above, but after going through bleach blond hotties (Steve Burton that's you), scrunchies, bangle bracelets, all I can think of is doesn't Evie look exactly like Kristen Bell?

Kristen Bell 

I guess all I can say now, is if they choose to redo this show into a movie, which face it could be a possibility, we know who will play the lead.  This was clearly the part Kristen Bell was born to play...not Veronica Mars or the voices of Gossip Girl or the cartoon chick from Frozen.  Evie Garland.  Enough said.

I cannot wait for my next 80's party, I am so going to go for this look, pointing fingers and all.  Comment below for other shows I should flashback on and see what happens!

You know you want to...

Shoddy Photoshop work for Lindsay Lohan

I don't have much to say about this picture except...WHOOPS!

At first glance, I saw it and thought, wow she looks healthier and younger than I have seen her in years.  Lindsay Lohan looks like the cute lil girl from Parent Trap again. But then I noticed the door behind her toosh...

I am pretty sure, door frames aren't supposed to "bend" and carpet "smudge."   Pretty funny non-the-less.  Thanks to E Online for pointing out the Lindsay is Photoshopped story.  It definitely made my morning...as I am glad my photoshop skills are better than this!

Taylor Swift Stole my Grandma's Shoes

I will admit it right of the bat, I am not a Taylor Swift fan.  Yes, there are some of us that do not like her music or care who she is or isn't dating.  But she is quickly becoming a fashion icon, especially with her fans, and for that I will give her a little props.  However, the one thing that always seems off in her outfits for me is her shoes.

Here is a perfect example of her boho chic style.  She is out shopping in a New York sweater and white shorts, with ugly brown, laced up, high heeled, ankle booties.  And in all fairness, I can picture my grandma wearing them back in the day.  And this isn't the first time I have seen them on her, or similar pairs.  I know laced up "menswear" shoes are in but that doesn't mean they need to be worn with every outfit.  So next time you see her, check out the shoes.  Do it, I can't make this stuff up.

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

If it was me, I would of thrown on a cute pair of white converse.  Still closed toed and comfy, but seems to go better her style of outfit, which almost seems nautical to me, without the anchors.  But with her current shoe selection, I just don't think it works.  And she in Los Angeles shopping, so a pair of sandals would of been appropriate as well.  Not like we are having a cold winter, at all.

 If I was Taylor, I would BURN these shoes immediately.  I am not ever sure using the excuse of winter footwear helps, they are just plain ugly.  And I am pretty sure your style team or model friends (is it just me or does she seem to be best friends with EVERYONE?) help with your big event style, so leave the bulky, grandma boots at home when you go shopping.  For a style icon in the making, not sure these will ever be bronzed in the Taylor Swift Fashion Hall of Fame!  I do like the sweater though...

Throw Back Tuesday: Special Edition

I saw this last weekend and decided I couldn't wait till Thursday to post, so I will do a "Throw Back Tuesday" edition, looks the same in hashtag #TBT.  Anyways I was channel surfing and found the little gem 'Boy Meets World' on ABC Family Channel, the college years though.  Why did every sitcom in the 90's have the college years, just kind of always seemed to ruin it?  Anyways Will Friedle (who at the time I believe was dating Jennifer Love Hewitt), mind you was a heartthrob at this point, comes on the screen as Eric Matthews...in a choker.

Yes people, a choker.  Remember those? And it made me realize how much of a fad that was, mostly for girls, but apparently some guys.  And one I hope never ever comes back.  I mean, shouldn't there be a little space between the neck and necklace, not perfectly formed around his Adam apple, or for Friends fans, his Joey's apple.  Will's in all the pictures, was so tight I watched just to see if it popped right off.

It did not...

What is with Kerry Washington and Magazine Covers?

Sunday in my condo is cleaning day.  I know, excitement galour, but you gotta do what you gotta do. And while dusting my living room and arranging my magazines on my coffee table, my eyes went to my newest copy of In Style magazine from early February.  I hadn't read it yet, nor really paid attention to the cover.  But my eyes caught the wording "Kerry's Candid Q & A" and I realized that the random female on the cover was Kerry Washington.

In Style Magazine-March 2015

Lucky Magazine-2014

I still didn't believe it, so I turned to the pages and sure enough, several pages about Scandal star Kerry Washington, who I watch on a weekly basis. I am not saying she looks bad or anything, just doesn't look like her at all.  And then I remembered a while ago a cover of Lucky Magazine, where the same thing happened.  What that is Kerry Washington?

Inside both magazines, the pictures that corresponded with the article looked just like her.  But yet why do magazines feel the need of altering covers where celebs are unrecognizable.  Even comparing the two pictures above, doesn't even seem like the same person.  And this isn't even photoshopping an arm or leg to look thinner, this is essentially changing a face.

In Style Magazine-2014

In case you were wondering, there are a few covers where Kerry looks like she does every Thursday on my television.  Or for that matter what she looks like in the magazine.  I know this happens to many stars, but seems so drastic for Kerry.  I went back and organized my magazines and continued on cleaning.  But this little trend stood out in my mind, just thought it was weird.  And for giggles, here is a magazine cover, where she actually looks herself....and oddly enough a wedding version of In Style.

What do you guys think?  Anyone else you see this happening to?  Le me know...

As if...Why didn't I think of this???

From time to time I post pictures  not to BURN or FIRE, but rather because they make me laugh. This is that case in point, duh.  Clearly Ellen had herself photoshopped into this scene from the movie 'Clueless.'  And all I can think is...why didn't I think of this?

This was posted on The Ellen Shows Facebook page yesterday for #throwbackthursday.  And while a lot of people complained she took Brittany Murphys spot in the scene (which if you have watched the movie at all, you would know they hadn't even met her yet), the picture simply is just awesome.

LOVE THIS!!! (Kinda Spoiler Alert...?)

I just saw this article on E! Online, Todd Chrisley's take on the Oscar attire of 2015.  If you don't know who Todd is, he is the some-what flamboyant father on the USA show, "Chrisley Knows Best." And although I initially passed it off as a 'Kardashian-type' show, it is so much better!  But anyways, this is not a TV show review, but my favorite of the pictures he commented on that I felt compelled to share:

Poor Fitz.  And although I would say this is a 'Scandal' spoiler, let's face it, for the last 4-seasons they have both broken each others hearts multiple times.  So don't worry people, we still have a shot at jam in Vermont.  #teamfitz  But I love the comment, "This is why the President decided to go to war."

For more of his comments on the whose who at the Oscars check out Oscar Red Carpet Comments here.  And I agree, this dress is very 'Olivia Pope.'

What the Heck? Weird Trends, that I just don't get...but keep seeing

There is a couple weird trends that I just don't get.  So why not write about it, maybe someone will explain it to me...

I have noticed in a few of the last award shows, an actress wears a sparkly dress and then there is this weird belt wrapped around her waist.  And it doesn't seem to go with it, but more of a last minute add on.  Case in point, Nicole Kidman at the Oscars.

 I just don't get it.  I mean none of her outfit really seems to go together, so maybe it works.  And the red ribbon belt, in theory put there to define a waist, doesn't really do the job anyways.  Just seems out of place to me on her thin figure.

The other trend I don't get is one I noticed on my cousin first.  He wears his pants rolled up slightly, causing a separation of about 2-3 inches from his shoes.  Then he throws on crazy colored or patterned socks. Then I started noticing other boys rocking the same fashion.  Now I turn on the Oscars tonight and will.i.am rocks the same thing, minus the fun socks.

I won't even comment on the rest of the outfit.  Will.i.am is a rapper, producer...and I think actor?  My cousin is seventeen and not a rapper, producer or actor!  You can see the reason in why I find this odd.

If someone wants to try and explain these to me, that would be great.  Is it just me or do other people like these trends???  Comment below...

It's Oscar Night...

Tonight is the night that anyone who is anyone...better have a stylist.  It is also the one night of the year, that I can 100% blame a stylist.  Because although they may not of made the final decision, they probably brought the celeb the dress and/or suit to choose from.  So here goes...

I absolutely hate Solange Knowles red paint suit with train, there really isn't any other way to say it:

Solange Knowles

Gumby

With the big hair and full coverage red outfit (is it a dress or a suit), its a little much and a little too boring at the same time.  Without any sparkles or anything to draw attention from the outfit, all I can say is she reminds me of a red Gumby.   And man a mock turtle neck just screams elegance right?  Yet the biggest question, why is she even there?

The other dress I thought was terrible was by a young actress that I haven't ever posted about, or at least remember posting about, Chloe Grace Moretz. The pleated strapless gown that almost swallows her whole would probably of even enough to write about.  But throw in the floral pattern and it made it even more worth-while to write about.  Her Miu Miu gown is pretty bad bad.

Chloe Grace Moretz

The satin top started out okay enough, but then went down a floral hill really really fast.  Again, nothing to draw attention away from the dress.  No fun shoes.  No cute clutch. No sparkling million dollar necklace. Even her hair is kinda blah.

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

For Solange's dress, there is just so many layers.  Maybe remove the sleeves, make it lower cut in the front or try and remove some of the multiple layers?

For Chloe, the pattern is what really turns me off.  It doesn't scream Oscar as much as "My Mom Made this Dress and I am wearing it to the Oscars".  And I know that isn't the case.

And Gumby...hey, its Gumby.  Its a classic and should be left alone.  And who doesn't love a green suit?

Anyways no need to delay the inevitable.  Both these dresses should BURN, it's the least we can do for them.  And as for the stylist's, well Chloe is still young.  So I will give her a pass.  But Solange, hello, your sister is Beyonce.  Doesn't she like own the world?  FIRE your stylist and what can I say, I expected more!

Throwback Thursday:Rocket Dog Platform Flip Flops

Yesterday I saw this picture of Rihanna in platform Alexander Wang boots. And while they are quite ugly,  they immediately took me back to the 90's when not only were these types of boots trendy, but every shoe had a platform. Yes even including your flip flops.  So I decided to take a trip back with Rocket Dog and Roxy to track down such amazing footwear.

Don't lie, we all had them.  In multiple colors, shapes and heel sizes.  And in case you are worried, you can still buy them, as Rocket Dog and Roxy are still going strong. Although after perusing the websites, Roxy seems to have settled on the more traditional flat flip flop, which is far more current these days.

Rocket Dog Flip Flops

Now for your viewing pleasure and shoe montage of my college years:

How many of these did you own.  Pretty sure I had them all...wonder what ever happened to those??? The are probably next to all my Puma tennis shoes I had, in every color too.  Ah, the good old days.

Apparently, there are MORE than One way to Skin A Cat...Pick it up off the Floor!

So I will admit, I was going to write about an outfit worn by Kanye West.  But is anyone else as tired of him as me?  Now not only is he getting press by rushing the stage at the Grammy's, dissing Beck and his random appearance at the SNL 40th Anniversary Special, but all E Online does now is stories about the Kardashians and Kanye. So I am from here on out...for a while at least...K & K free (Kanye & Kardashian) on this blog.

Now if we have learned anything, if Kanye isn't making news another rapper surely is, Chris Brown.  I saw this picture of him at Fashion Week in NYC with his girlfriend Karrueche Tran and knew I had to write about it.

What the heck is he wearing?  Lions Fur?  Nothing says classy like a grey hoodie at a fashion show...under a fur parka.  I had to look it up and Karrueche is a model and seems in her element, Chris not so much.  Did she dress him? Or did he pull his fur rug off of the ground and wrap it around his shoulders?  Is it supposed to keep his gold chains warm?

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

The blue hair and grey hooded sweatshirt seem distinctly out of place at fashion week.  And the length of the sleeves seem very feminine to me.  If he is dead set on this look, why not find one with longer sleeves and a hood? If you are going to go for it, really go for it. Hopefully its faux, because it doesn't even look as nice as hers.  And lets face it, who else thinks Chris Brown would wear a fake fur coat after EVERYTHING he has done.  Not me!

But before I let Chris know what I think he should do with his outfits, I found some other gems:

"Now, who said I had to wear this rug over my shoulders?
Because I am taking him out back, I look ridiculous."

"She said if I sit here nicely, I can have a lollipop.
So I am just gonna sit here, counting the ceiling tiles"

Sorry, I thought they were funny.  Here is what I think Chris, BURN this jacket, I don't even know why you are wearing it inside.  But the least you can do is remove the hood.  And maybe seem a little interested in the show...and may I add love the baggy pushed up leather pants.  Might as well throw those in the fire bin with the coat.

3 Points for NBA Fashion: Tailored Suits, Patterned Polos & Bow Ties

On Wednesday night I caught part of Charles Barkley's interview on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.  Although his outfit was not anything to write home about, something he said made me wonder.  He made a comment about an outfit Kevin Durant wore in one of the post game interviews and how bad it was.  Now Kevin and his teammate on the Oklahoma Thunder, Kevin Westbrook, are known for their crazy fashion antics.  So I decided to take a look at NBA fashion and what I thought of it, starting with Mr. Durant.

Kevin Durant

All in all, I don't mind it.  Sure there are some wild suit colors, Clark Kent black rimmed glasses and Beats by Dre headphones, but at least he and his buddies are showing some personality.  I am not a fan of capri pants on men or a skinny jeans however.  But can you imagine how hard it is to find pants to fit?  Oh wait...I can.  He has some flair, but will still rock the traditional when needed.

Russell Westbrook

Now Russell Westbrook goes more for shock value. From bright patterned polo's to copying Justin Bieber baggy pants for the Teen Choice Awards.  He too likes the shorter, skinny pants. His colored rimmed glasses, pushed up pants and bright socks really make him stand out. I am sure sitting in post game interviews gets pretty tedious, so why not spice it up a bit...maybe he goes a little far?

Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Chandler Parsons & Steve Nash

And for your pleasure a little more NBA fashion.  I am actually surprised I knew all their names, including my new NBA crush Chandler Parsons.  More tailored suits, fun patterns, glasses and of course bow ties.

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

Guys in suits, in my opinion, can be hard to mess up. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen.  But when guys make millions of dollars a year and are over 6 feet tall, pretty sure they have suits tailored made.  As for the crazy patterns, skinny and capri pants, well what are you going to do. The crazy patterns can certainly be tamed down with solid pants and/or suit jacket.  And the pants?  BURN them!

My biggest question after scouring over NBA fashion is for Kevin Durant.  What the heck is with the backpacks in the post game interview photos?  I didn't find any pictures of you walking into the arena wearing them, so why after the game?  I am pretty sure you could take it off and set on the ground.  Or don't you rich guys have people to hold those things for you?  And why have it buckled across your chest?  You going hiking later?  Just wondering...

Throwback Thursday: Saved by the Bell

I tried to start a "Throw Back Thursday" post of fashion, couples, etc that I think fondly of from back in the day.   However my follow through was something to be desired.  So I thought I would give it a whirl.  And what better way to start this then with a show near and dear to my heart.  And hopefully soon making its way to Netflix so I can binge watch for the fashion greatness. I am of course talking about Saved by the Bell.

Kelly Kapowski, Screech Powers, A.C Slater, Zack Morris, Jessie Spano & Lisa Turtle

Obviously this is inspired by the amazing reunion (sans Lisa Turtle and Screech) on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.  AMAZING!!! And if you haven't seen it...where the heck have you been?

Zack, Kelly, Lisa, Jessie & Slater in 90's Fashion

Amazing outfits from Male to Female, left to right.  Pleated parachute pants, colored blazers, white hi-top tennis shoes and pegged jeans.  The hours of fun is limitless.  And remember when you wanted to look just like them?  When we all searched for a Zack Morris of our own in Junior High?

Swoon-Zack and Kelly

There is no need to try to fix these outfits, why would I?  I can only hope that they don't come back anytime soon. Although thanks to the likes of Kim Kardashian and Nicki Minaj, the bare mid-drift is trying to make a return.  Timeout...what?

And just in case you haven't seen it, here is a link to the Tonight Shows reunion of Saved by the Bell.

BREAKING FASHION NEWS: A Robe can replace your OLD Winter Coats

I swear, I am not doing this on purpose.  But generally when I see a picture that causes me want to comment, I do, if not at least to myself.  So Rihanna, an already blogged about fashion victim this week, is back for Round 2.

I know we have all had nightmares about leaving our house naked.  Okay, I am pretty sure I have not had that particular dream, but you always see it on TV shows or movies.  So work with me here.  But as soon as I saw this picture of her in this coat going to dinner in Los Angeles, I immediately thought of the robe I got for Christmas.  And then wondered...why is she wearing hers out in public?

This is pretty much how I look every morning in my front yard trying to water my plants without my neighbors or random strangers seeing me in it.  And she wore this out in public.

Hmmm, how to save the outfit???

Maybe if she had a longer skirt, pants, a dress...anything that would make me think she had something on underneath.  All I can wonder now is, what's under the coat?  Or is it like High School graduation and she lost a bet and had to flash the whole restaurant? I will give her the benefit of the doubt and say she has a lovely ensemble on underneath, classy and all.

Rihanna, not quite sure how often I have posted about you.  I can think of at least four separate times, which is better than some, worst than others.  But it might be time to go for more drastic moves.  I previously told you to destroy your last dress, the pink loofah.  I think you should start thinking that it might be time to FIRE your fashion consultants.

And in case you are wonder, no, I do not plan to wear my Betsy Johnson pink and white bow robe out in public this weekend. Well at least not without pants underneath it!!!

A lovely Valentines Day Gift: Luxe Fleece Bow Robe

Hahahahaha...

So there is no fashion post related to this picture of Jhene Aiko and Ariana Grande.  But am I the only one who thinks this picture looks hilarious?

Doesn't it look like Jhene is holding Ariana up in the air like a tiny little doll???  

Please comment on this if you think this is as funny as I do. Come on, you know you have something to say...

Has anyone seen my Loofah?

Last night was the Grammy Awards, with the usual culprits in attendance. I won't talk about how Kanye West gave his point of view, whether we wanted it or not.  Or I won't mention Madonna's matador outfit. Or Iggy's birds nest braid on top of her head.  Nope, the texts I received most comments on about the Grammy's (which I did not watch), were about Rihanna's outfit...or the pink loofah she wore.

She definitely gave pretty in pink a new meaning.  Wow...that is poofy!  Questions I was immediately asked where:

1. Did she go in the limo like that?
2. How does she sit down?

Maybe she didn't sit all night. And maybe she caught a gust of wind and flew to the awards show, leaving the limo at home and saving a few bucks.

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

The color itself was very pretty on her.  And the top of the dress. And that is all the good I can say. From there down...it literally goes down hill.  I have attached a picture to the right of a loofah, for those of you who may not know what one is.  Yes that sponge thing in your shower that you use to rub body wash on you is called a "Loofah."  It is not something you should wear as a dress.  The only thing that could of made this even worse, would be a matching pink loofah clutch.  Although maybe that would of helped too?

Rihanna, I have somewhat questioned your style in the past, per recent posts. And your decisions maybe a little more, I won't even mention round 2 with Chris Brown.  But this is pretty bad.  I would say BURN this dress immediately.  Because even if it was awful, you didn't even wear it best, this girl did:

Here is a video on how to make your own.  You are welcome America!!!

A Little Imagination can Sometimes be Just Enough-Vivica is just TOO MUCH

I applauded Vivica A. Fox on Monday Night as she called out Kendra Moore on 'Celebrity Apprentice'.  The fact that Kendra could of stolen her phone, tweeted as Vivica a menopausal comment and then tried to use it in the board room was appalling.  But Kendra has done some sketchy stuff on her time on 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' and we were all talking about it the next day.  But did Vivica get the last laugh?

Vivica A. Fox

My hands that were used to clap for her, quickly turned to cover my eyes when I saw this photo this morning from Vivica at the Femmy Awards.  Yes folks, those are nipples.  And this is one of the rare photos I could find without something covering them up on the Internet.  You can clearly see her areola showing through the transparent beaded gown.  And in other pictures when she twists and turns, you can see even more.

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

I can understand she wanted to show off her body a bit, especially after some of the comments that were directed towards her in the episode.  If you haven't watched, you should.  She was very upset.  So I can see the motive behind this.  But two wrongs and I guess two nipples, don't make a right.  She couldn't wear a pair of pasties?  And in fairness the beading could of been a little more plentiful in this area.  But designers will be designers.

Its pretty apparent she wanted to make a statement.  And don't let it be called a "Wardrobe Malfunction" because that is 100% not what it was.  While I say if you got it, work it...may be a bit too much.  The dress is beautiful so do not BURN, maybe stay away from closeups?  And maybe plan ahead a bit better. However...Kendra who?

And in a effort to show a better example of sexy cleavage done right, I included another example.  Here is Evangeline Lilly in a dress that shows off a lot and leaves some to the imagination.  It is a similar idea, but done correctly and elegantly.  Well done!

And what the heck is the Femmy Awards?  Here is a link:

When your DOG wears MORE CLOTHES than YOU...Time to Check your Fashion Choices

I may be out of the norm here, but when I plan to get off the plane, I make sure I have everything.

•  Luggage-CHECK
•  Cell Phone-CHECK
•  Pants-CHECK

Seems logical right?  Well I guess no one ever said that Lady Gaga was logical.  I mean she did wear a coat of Kermit the Frogs once.  But still, put some pants on!!!

This photo was taken at LAX (for those of you who don't know-the airport in Los Angeles, CA.)  And while yes, it has been warm, we are in no way involved in a heatwave that would encourage anyone to remove their pants.  Heck the dog is even wearing a coat (and more clothes than Gaga) in what is usually a cold atmosphere...an airplane.

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

Well if you ever read this blog, you will know I am not a fan of the sans-pants wardrobe, made famous by Christina Aguilera on the Voice.  So Step #1, don't copy the fashion trend of Christina, because you are not going to get any points from me. Step #2, PUT ON PANTS!!!

I would start by saying Lady Gaga, BURN all of your tops so you don't have the option to just wear them. However I am afraid of what you would come up with then.  So please keep your bottomless days to your home and away from the poor guy in a suit trying really hard to get out of the shot.

Bonus Points: Your puppy is very cute!!!

This Outfit is NOT for the Dogs...or a Dog Park

Apparently I am doing something wrong when I take my dog Barrett out for a walk.  I tend to leave my "nightclub" attire in the closest, when its daytime and I am not going out clubbing.  But hey, Christina Milian has different plans.  

Although her pup seems to like the outfit, or the treats she is holding hostage in the bag, I am not sure I wouldn't mock in public if I saw this.  The outfit is probably expensive and no doubt fashionable, which is all well and great.  But its January...in the day...IN A DOG PARK!!!  

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

I know Christina is no doubt out making appearances for her new TV show, one of which I have not checked out yet.  But I am sure one late night, when nothing else is on, I will catch a rerun.  But not sure this outfit makes her super relatable...to give her one last shot at stardom (her words, not mine).  I guess reading social media posts on the Voice is not working for her any longer.

I didn't intend on attempting to fix this outfit.  In the right time and place, this outfit would be considered acceptable. But throw on a pair of jeans and take the dog for a walk.  I don't think he requires a dress code to hang out with him.  

No need to BURN or FIRE anyone...just make better choices, like not trying to look like Kim Kardashian.
